Rama and Sita is a 1850 paint by Unknown, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a bright, flat scene with four figures in bold colors. A blue-skinned man sits on a red throne with a woman beside him, while another man stands holding a weapon. A fourth figure kneels in front, reaching toward them. The background has tall trees and a golden dome under a blue sky with clouds. The figures wear bright, patterned clothes and gold jewelry, and their faces are simple shapes with little detail. The painting looks old, with some spots where color is worn away.

The artwork is an opaque watercolour painting on paper from 1850, depicting Rama and Sita seated on a throne, with Hanuman positioned at their feet. Krishna, Lakshman, and Balarama are shown standing in attendance behind them. The piece appears unfinished, likely serving as a preliminary study or memoria technica, featuring basic outlines and initial colour applications.
